Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers: Today’s Hockey Headlines | Jan 27, 2026

Note: The Jets were on the ice for a practice on Monday. We did learn that the trio of injured defenceman (Pionk, Fleury & Miller) are not expected back before the break. Morning skate for Winnipeg gets underway at 10:30 AM CST so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 6 PM CST.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and New Jersey, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the results of the game starting around 8:40 PM CST.

Note III: The Moose will hit the ice for practice this morning coming off a big 3-2 regulation win over the top team in the AHL on Sunday. Stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Bad luck, bad bounces: Jets’ Hellebuyck confident as ever. If you’ve covered him for any length of time his answers came with little surprise.

Winnipeg Sun: No rebellion this time: Jets OK with Arniel’s rip job. Would be hard to disagree with the assessment of the coach.

Winnipeg Free Press: Margin for error razor thin for struggling Jets. (Paywall). The math was already difficult and the loss to the Hawks last week and the Wings this past weekend made it even more difficult.

Global News: Jets going in wrong direction heading into Olympic Break. Sure they have points in seven of their last nine games but the problem is that 30 game block of the season where they weren’t banking anything. Leaves them with no margin for error.

Jets video:

TSN: Face of the Winnipeg Jets FranchiseEvery franchise has one player that embodies everything the team represents and is synonymous with its name. OverDrive host Bryan Hayes is joined by Director of Scouting Craig Button and TSN Hockey analyst Mike Johnson to discuss who they believe is the face of the Jets franchise.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
